I described myself in a social media setting as as “molded by Wesleyan theology, love the Word and Spirit, believe social holiness arises from personal holiness and am called to spread scriptural holiness to the world.”
I was asked what’s the difference between “social holiness” and “social gospel”.
Good done on behalf of others & the world that leads to peace & enables one to persevere in hardship (Matt 5: 9-10) resulting from merciful & pure hearts born of hungering & thirsting for righteousness (Matt 5: 6-8), faithful devotion to God & obedience. Social holiness is a habit of the heart that overflows onto others, not works of the hands. That’s social holiness for God’s glory, Kingdom gain, and the good of God’s people.
